Answer
Hi Ardith,
I recommend that you locate an appraiser in your area who is qualified to evaluate vintage fishing rods. An original E.C. Powell rod in excellent condition is going to be valued in the $1,100-$1,500 range depending on model and actual condition. It would be worth your while to find someone who can inspect the rod in person and provide you with an estimate of value.
Thanks, Joe
